Declaration I’ll take you just the way you are Imperfect words inside the perfect song I feel you closer than you are But I’ve been waiting far too long Too long Chorus: It’s my declaration to anyone who’s listening You’re my inspiration as I stand alone against the world Cause you love and you bleed And you stole my soul to set me free It’s my declaration Do you care what I believe? Cause I’m still breathing Or that I wear your heart upon my sleeve Sometimes I think you never knew The only truth I see is you It’s you Are there any words to say That would ever mean enough When the light runs from the day Will the darkness be too much Will I ever be enough? So tell me you can hear these words tonight |
Heroes As the Sun goes down in front of me Reminds me where I want to be With you and you alone Pull me in like you were made for me I’m losing faith in gravity And I just need to let you know I need to let you know I’m not going to come down Down off of these clouds All these heroes come and go You’re still standing Teach me to rise up To open my eyes up All these Heroes come and go You’re still standing When the world’s confusing, I don’t care I’ll craw into your atmosphere I know you’ll make it right You’re all I need tonight I believe that you can save me And you’ll never let me fall I’ll believe in what you show me Maybe there’s a hero in us all.... |
Light On Never really said too much Afraid it wouldn't be enough Just try to keep my spirits up When there's no point grieving Doesn't matter anyway CHORUS You know we've Been down that road

Come Back
to Me You say you got to go and find yourself You say that you've become someone else Don't recognize the face in the mirror Looking back at you You say you're leaving as you look away I know there's really nothing left to say Just know I'm here whenever you need me, I'll wait for you So I'll let you go I'll set you free And when you see what you need to see When you find you Come back to me Take your time I won't go anywhere Picture you with the wind in your hair I keep your things right where you left them I'll be here for you And I'll let you go I'll set you free And when you see what you need to see When you find you Come back to me I hope you find everything that you need I'll be right here waiting to see When you find you Come back to me I can't get close if you're not there I can't get inside if there's no soul to bare I can't fix you, I can't save you It's something you have to do So I'll let you go I'll set you free And when you see what you need to see When you find you Come back to me I hope you find everything that you need I'll be right here waiting to see When you find you Come back to me |
Life On
the Moon Here in this crowd I’m feeling all alone Turn me around and point me back to home I’m getting lost more everyday And I can’t tear myself away From the stars in my eyes with no light Here are my terms - Have some faith in me And I’ll let you be who you need to be Chorus: Life on the moon couldn’t be any stranger Life on the moon wouldn’t feel as far away The life that I knew, it’s through And I’m gonna need you more than ever I’m alone in this crowded room It’s like life on the moon Float off the ground my head’s up in the air Self conscious to a fault With hollow people everywhere It’s getting harder every night To take the punches, left and right Just to know that you’re here by my side Here are my terms – Have some faith in me And I’ll let you be who you need to be Getting lost in my own atmosphere Stars in the sky are the stars in my eyes It’s the cost of getting out of here alive. |
Mr.
Sensitive Day In and day out Watch him scream watch him shout Through the silence, through the silence Give him ears, give him eyes Give some point to the cries And the violence, Oh the violence Hear him scream your name I would like to introduce Mr. Sensitive The one who never let the worst get the best of him This city feels low Against the gleam and the glow Of his diligence to their elegance Just feel anger, feel pain Feel the sun and the rain Just feel something, Oh feel something The throw their stones at bricks and bones He didn't stand a chance, they said A little boy, the world in tow But ignorance is bliss |

Bar-ba-sol When I woke up, I could see The daylight had already passed me It was such a fight to fade away to sleep It’s a fugue I’m on, falling to chase down the dawn And I fell every night, as it turns into light with my eyes just shut tight Sailing all alone, thought I’d made it home But I threw it all away Oh where I’ve been, sold and spun again All before me like a dream, fallin’ in between I feel sick, I feel nervous, I know just what I did to deserve this Oh I know it’s not a dream Keep it quiet, lay low, holdin’ on to what I don’t want to know Til the daylight turns to ash and blows away Missin’ keys, bloody nose, consequences of what I chose Keep runnin’ into me, don’t want my memory, it comes so deathly Sailing all alone, thought I’d made it home But I threw it all away Oh where I’ve been, sold and spun again All before me like a dream, fallin’ in between I feel sick, I feel nervous, I know just what I did to deserve this Oh I know it’s not a dream Oh where I’ve been, sold and spun again All before me like a dream, fallin’ in between I feel sick, I feel nervous, I know just what I did to deserve this Oh I know it’s not a dream Oh where I’ve been, sold and spun again All before me like a dream, fallin’ in between I feel sick, I feel nervous, I know just what I did to deserve this Oh I wish life was a dream |
Lie You whispered that you were getting tired Got a look in your eye, looks a lot like goodbye Hold on to your secrets tonight Don’t want to know I’m ok with this silence It’s truth that I don’t want to hear You’re hiding regret in your smile There’s a storm in your eyes I’ve seen coming for a while Hang on to the past tense tonight Don’t say a word, I’m ok with the quiet The truth is going to change everything Chorus: So Lie to me and tell me that it’s gonna be alright So Lie to me and tell me that we’ll make it through the night I don’t mind if you wait before you tear me apart Look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie I know that there’s no turning back If we put too much light on this we’ll see through all the cracks Let’s stay in the dark one more night Don’t want to know I’m ok with the silence It’s truth that I don’t want to hear Don’t want to believe in this ending Let the camera’s roll on Keep pretending Tomorrow’s all wrong if you walk away Just stay |
I Did It
for You Today’s not the same as everyday It’s far from ordinary The pain I endure, you’re my cure But my mistakes have led me Far away from you You turn away from all those things that I’ve been trying to say And all those promises I shouldn’t have made I did for you Mile by mile Feelings I just can’t reconcile My heart’s on a string, these broken wings Who knew I’d be so fragile Far away from you You turn away from all those things that I’ve been trying to say And all those promises I shouldn’t have made I did for you I search my soul And all these feelings that I can’t control You’re the one thing that can make me whole I did it for you Tryin’ to let you know Tryin’ to let you know Tryin’ to let you know Today’s not the same as everyday It’s far from ordinary |

Avalanche I feel alive beside you And all at once I am whole again. We fall into each other Your atmosphere Is all I'm breathing in And in this rush We are crushed Carry me down Rolling in your arms Cause' I can't remember Ever falling this hard Tell me tonight, All that we have been Was it nothin' more Than a noise inside my head Crashing down, crashing down, In your avalanche. In your avalanche. These scars we wear remind us The more we change The more we're all the same Swept up in this emotion We fumble through and make the same mistakes Cause' we are led To the edge Carry me down Rolling in your arms I can't remember Ever falling this hard Tell me tonight All that we have been Was it nothin' more Than a noise inside my head Crashing down, crashing down, In your avalanche Crashing down, crashing down, Carry me down Rolling in your arms Cause I can't remember Ever falling this hard Tell me tonight All that we have been Was it nothin' more Than a noise inside my head Carry me down Rolling in your arms Cause I can't remember Ever falling this hard Tell me tonight All that we have been Was it nothin more Than a noise inside our heads Crashing down, crashing down... Was it nothing more Than a noise inside our heads Crashing down Crashing down I feel alive beside you Than all at once I am whole again... |
Permanent Is this the moment where I look you in the eye? Forgive my broken promise that you’ll never see me cry And everything it will surely change even if I Tell you I won’t go away today Will you think that you’re all alone When no one’s there to hold your hand When all you know seems so far away And everything is temporary, rest your head I’m permanent I know he’s living in hell every single day And so I ask, Oh God is there some way for me to take his place And when they say it’s so touch and go I wish I could make it go away, but still you say |
A Daily
AntheM Break your neck for some substance This is temporary sanity, an exercise in vanity So long to the ordinary day Wrought with fictitious tales of how there’s any other way Hold on to anything at all It’s a long way down between the summer and the fall If I told you that you’re everything Would you sing along? Would you sing along? It’s a daily anthem Would you sing my song at the top of your lungs And we’ll all sing along, we’ll all sing along It’s a half-faith blessing For the lessons I’ve learned and never deserved And we’ll all sing along, we’ll all sing along Now the verses take hold A gentle undercurrent of more years to grow old Say goodbye to the cold And try to forgive Everything this night, as we sing your Daily Anthem Would you sing my song at the top of your lungs And we’ll all sing along, we’ll all sing along It’s a half-faith blessing For the lessons I’ve learned and never deserved And we’ll all sing along, we’ll all sing along Oh, oh, oh, oh (repeat) |

Kiss On
the Neck Put on a scent with some attitude Put on a dress with some bite Make up your skin like your favorite star You're going out tonight When everyone's under the gun Just smile and hum along So over it Just a well-trained pet The same old song I can say You were lost when you walked into the room Such an old cliché Hollywood's full of girls like you With your backbone is stuffed inside your purse Your fairy tale couldn't get much worse You're a broken bride and we all know We can win you over, with just a kiss on the neck You're blowing up like a hand grenade Can't keep your foot on the brake You're grinning big ‘cause you got it made Such a colossal fake When everyone's a smoking gun Just smile and hum along You'll never win with a black-toothed grin You got it all wrong I can say You were lost when you walked into the room Such an old cliché Hollywood's full of girls like you With your backbone is stuffed inside your purse Your fairy tale couldn't get much worse You're a broken bride and we all know We can win you over, with just a kiss on the neck Ooh You're the sweetest thing I've seen To think you were meant for me And I got just one thing to say With just a kiss on the neck You can say I was lost when I walked into the room Such an old cliché I could never get a girl like you With my backbone stuffed inside your purse This fairy tale couldn't get much worse I'm a broken man and you all know You can win me over With just a kiss on the neck K-k-k-kiss on the neck |
Breathe
Tonight You broke when i just bent You cried; i never meant to break you down This time, did i steal the best....of you (Chorus) Can you breathe tonight As the air is leaving you Scream tonight Like the words are new to you Can we go back to the last time my arms could carry you Breathe tonight You're alive Lost, don't leave me in the dark alone Shine a light Cuz you're the road that got me home Cuz I, I never knew that love was true Did you (Chorus) You broke when I just bent Goodbye, but only if you're over it (Chorus) You're alive |
My Last
Request When your smile becomes the reason I breathe And your eyes become the motive to see And if it's better for your health To see the love, it lives in someone else And all that I can say All that I can say is She's my last request Everything else is suddenly taken over And I'm my own regret And all that I wanted Is outta my hands Your thoughts of war, religion and life (love?) Other things that I recall when you're gone And now I'm left without a clue On where I stood in line when I lost you And all that I can say It's all that I can say She's my last request Everything else is suddenly taken over And I'm my own regret And all that I wanted Is outta my hands Is outta my hands When your smile becomes the reason I breathe And your eyes become the motive to see Then all that I can say is She's my last request Everything else is suddenly taken over And I'm my own regret And all that I wanted Is outta my hands Outta my hands She's my last request And all that I wanted Is outta my hands |
